Organocuprates (Gilman Reagents)

The video tutorial explains organocouperates, their preparation from organolithium reagents, and their applications. Organocouperates, also known as Gillman reagents, are organometallic compounds involving copper. They are less reactive than organolithium and Grignard reagents, making them suitable for specific reactions like conjugate addition to alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyls. The tutorial covers the preparation process, the mechanism of conjugate addition, and alternate applications such as SN2 reactions.
